Phosphorus Anhang
[Joy Lucas]
Many write of this remedy talk how friendly/sympathetic/lovely
Phosphorous people are. These are, of course, healthy aspects and we wouldn't
be prescribing on these,
we should be looking at the diseased state of this remedy. But it is
true, no matter how ill a Phos. person is they are still so friendly and warm
towards the world and this is nearly always
evident during the case taking.
1) Diffusion:
Bearing in mind what Phosphorous is (to bring light) - there is
luminosity, light, effervescence (used in the manufacture of matches!! - strike
a light - here one second and gone the next) and
because of this there is a great feeling of transience. They are all
over the place, never finish anything, can't hold onto information (learn
poorly).
Magnetism, they capture your imagination, the eyes sparkle, easily
excited, very sympathetic and sensitive to others. Very expansive in their
responses to others, virtually never complain or criticise. They are openly
affectionate - they need to give this out so they are desperate for company to
do this - cannot be alone for long.
Often clairvoyant, see auras, anticipate events - so sensitive to
everything that it can become a burden to be like this. Sensitive to sound,
smells, changes in temperatures, pain, light and dark, etc.
So their own self is of prime importance, always directing attention to
themselves, there can be a love of self, egocentric and others cannot compete -
they might have many partners during life
(can't hold on to people). Also exhibitionist will act out and mimic.
Children can tell dreadful fibs with great convincing, innocence and charm of
course. A strong sexual appetite comes under
this force.
2) Haemorrhage:
The theme of diffusion continues with the haemorrhage - they can bleed
easily, profuse and from anywhere. The blood is overflowing like the
personality. Bloody diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, heavy menses (menorrhagia),
nosebleeds, haemoptysis (lungs), haematuria (urine), extravasation of blood
under the skin, gums bleed easily etc. Flush up easily. Red blood and even red
haired
and if not red haired the hair will have some tint of red somewhere.
3) Fears:
So many fears many stemming from their intense sensitivity.
Being rejected or criticised, cannot be happy if others around them are
not so (delusion of being noble - self importance).
Anything even slightly unpleasant - effects them immensely, even
pleasurable activities can make them fearful of the emotions spent.
Of own sensitivity.
Ghosts, spirits, the dark - think they see things, twilight (hovering
between light and dark)
Noises, thunderstorms and not surprisingly fireworks
Illness, being poisoned, the future, death, that something will happen,
of robbers.
Being alone, of failure.
4) Cancer:
Big cancer remedy. It is an exceedingly poisonous substance but an
essential element in the body structure. The vapour is absorbed by the lungs
and there is an affinity to lungs, bones and nerve tissue. But almost any organ
can be susceptible (liver/skin/lungs/bowels/stomach/blood).
"An introduction to the principles and practice of homeopathy"
by Charles E. Wheeler has good article of this remedy from a pathology point of
view.
Other pathology = strong tubercular influence so the whole respiratory
system can be involved - bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, coughs of all sorts.
Often present with stomach +/o. digestive complaints.
The energy aspect of this remedy is vital - always tired, need catnaps.
The bones are also nearly always affected - people working with
Phosphorus used to get "phossy jaw" - necrosis of bones.
Nearly always cold but crave cold drinks and many pains are of a burning
nature.
